A movie that really needs no introduction, Steven Spielberg's "Jaws" has scared audiences for years now. The story still remains one of the most famous in cinema history; big, hungry shark makes suprise appearances along the coastline, taking out unsuspecting tourists and locals when he feels like a snack.

Suffering from a long shoot and production problems (as well as budget problems) Spielberg's film was not predicted to fare too well until audiences saw the final product and found it to be an extremely suspenseful classic. The film stars Roy Schnieder as local police chief Brody - going against the wishes of community leaders who want the beaches to remain open to keep business going. When the creature doesn't show any signs of slowing down, three men (Brody as well as a researcher played by Richard Dreyfuss and a fisherman played by Robert Shaw) attempt to hunt down the beast.

The film starts off establishing what's to come in the opening sequence, and after that, the film has the audience. When the film is near the water, the tension is so thick it can almost be felt - anything can, and probably will, happen. The film moves like the wind once it begins to get going, and never looks back. The performances and dialogue are top-notch, and the terror that director Spielberg creates is incredible. "Jaws" is, and easily always will be, a classic.
